FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES
Fire/explosion Explosion risk in case of fire. Catches fire spontaneously if exposed to air. Flash back
possible over considerable distance.
Suitable Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

Protective equipment
and precautions for
firefighters
Further information
SECTION 6
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.
Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Leaking gas fire: Do not extinguish, unless leak can
be stopped safely.
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Methods and
materials for
containment and
cleaning up
SECTION 7
Beware of vapours accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapours can
accumulate in low areas. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Prevent
further leakage or spillage. Hose down gases, fumes and/or dust with water.
HANDLING AND STORAGE
Safe handling advice

SECTION 8
Ensure all equipment is electrically grounded before beginning transfer operations. Keep
away from fire, sparks and heated surfaces. Use only in well-ventilated areas.
The pressure in sealed containers can increase under the influence of heat.
Ambient
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING MEASURES
Provide adequate explosion-proof, general or exhaust ventilation. Ventilate low-lying
areas such as sumps and confined spaces.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Eyes Wear as appropriate: Goggles, Face-shield
Skin
Inhalation
Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection.
In case of insufficient ventilation wear suitable respiratory equipment. Use NIOSH
approved respiratory protection.
EXPOSURE GUIDELINES
Simple asphyxiant - must maintain oxygen level at a minimum of 16% in air by volume.
